P2P Example

This example demonstrates a Peer-to-Peer synchronization model using Glom.

Two independent Glom worlds are running in the same page, simulating two separate peers. They communicate by serializing and deserializing transactions and snapshots directly.

Key Concepts

Each peer is assigned a unique ID (1 or 2) to prevent entity ID collisions across the network. Bi-directional replication ensures that any transactions recorded on one peer are immediately applied to the other. The example uses Glom’s built-in reconciliation systems to handle state updates that arrive out of order.

Controls

To control the blue square (Peer A), use the W, A, S, and D keys. For the red square (Peer B), use the arrow keys to move around the canvas.
